Abstract

The writer analyzes one of the main characters in the novel One of us is a living. Simon Kelleher, the self-proclaimed narrator of the Bayview High Rumor Factory. Simon Kelleher runs an app called "About It" where Simon always collects the most interesting gossip on campus. In the novel 'One of Us Lies'. This novel tells about 4 students who have a secret that they do and the novel explores the personality and thoughts of each prospective reader to keep guessing who did it until the end. (1) How is Simon Keller's characterization in the novel One Of Us Is Lying.(2) How does Simon Keller meet his needs in One Of Us Is Lying. This study uses a qualitative approach to obtain a clear and systematic description of the phenomenon being studied. Descriptive studies in textual analysis are applied in this study to analyze conversations between characters to find out Simon’s character’s perspective on other characters. Data was collected by reading and marking conversations between characters in the novel. The analysis is continued by identifying conversations that describe characterizations related to the theory that the author is researching. Finally, the reasons why the characters need the theory used by the characters in the novel are identified by looking at the setting and the conversations between the characters. After analyzing Simon Kelleher’s hierarchy of needs in the novel One of Us Is Lying by Karen McManus, the researcher concludes that there are five stages of the hierarchy of needs in Simon’s characterization analysis. That is, Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory applies to Karen McManus’ novel One of Us Is Lying. It can be concluded that the researcher found five levels of demand hierarchy on data sources, physiological needs data, safety needs data, love and belonging needs data, self-esteem needs data, and selfactualization needs data. According to the results, security needs predominate. This is because Simon’s school life really makes him an introverted figure who is shunned by his friends because he has a trusted gossip account and always updates the news with sharp and reliable news about the secrets of famous students at Bayview high by writing articles about someone fulfilling his physiological needs.
